Swim
Comments: Terrible swim! Thought that I would find it ok as I'm generally an ok swimmer - but had a nightmare. Panicked, couldn't breathe, couldn't keep crawl going - was doing breaststroke within 100m. My entire game plan went out the window in less than a minute. What would you do differently?: I need some coaching and lots of practice..!! Transition 1
Comments: T1 was very slow. Didn't think that putting socks on would take so long (wet feet does that apparently). Everything else just seemed to drag on. What would you do differently?: Think a bit more on the transition and practice. Bike
Comments: Was quite happy with the bike considering. No clip ins, lost the chain on the last hill - so that slowed me a little. Everything else was as good as I could expect. What would you do differently?: Work harder on the hills. Think about getting clip-ins and aerobars. Transition 2
Comments: Got the wobbles a little when coming off the bike. Cycled in my running shoes, so just dropped off the bike and carried on. What would you do differently?: Nothing Run
Comments: My run was bad. Couldn't keep it going - ended up walking up the hills and running down them. I seriously have to question the time... should have been more. What would you do differently?: Better training, use HRM. Post race
Warm down: Nothing serious, just had some fruit, drinks and snacks... What limited your ability to perform faster: Practice, experience and training. Event comments: My first race, so it has to be the best! It was a good experience, whetted my appetite to do another. My goal was really just to complete it, so mission accomplished I guess.
